"Lu's playing is in a rare class—sensitive and emotionally intuitive." —BBC Music Magazine
Winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition 2018, Eric Lu astounded the world at age 20 with his interpretative maturity and sensitivity. Since then, he has captivated audiences across continents, making acclaimed debuts with the world's leading orchestras at prestigious concert halls. Lu was named a BBC New Generation Artist from 2019 to 2022 and received the distinguished Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2021, making him one of the most promising young piano masters of our time.
In his highly anticipated Hong Kong debut, Eric Lu will present a programme with iconic works by Chopin, Handel, and Schubert with artistry "rare in pianists of any age" (The Telegraph).

Hannes Minnaar's 24 Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues (HK Debut)
In 1950, Dmitri Shostakovich began composing the bold and enigmatic 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, amidst waves of pressure from the Soviet Power. This monumental work, believed to be inspired by J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, embodies not only Shostakovich’s masterful contrapuntal artistry but also the profound exploration of his complex inner turmoil.
Marking the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s passing, pianist Hannes Minnaar will present this tour de force in a three-hour recital, delving into “all steps of the scale and the human mind” (NRC). As the first Dutchman featured in the Royal Concertgebouw’s Master Pianists Series in 20 years, Minnaar will showcase his exceptional stamina in weaving a rich tapestry of emotions—”depth, optimism, gloom, strength, and subtlety” (Pianist Magazine).
